      Offhand, I’d say that Danny, if he were anyone but Danny, wouldn’t be thinking about redecorating while he has a girl in his room. especially if she’s been there all night.

      But this is Danny, and DoA Danny (as opposed to R Danny, who seemed to have a touch, if only a touch, more machismo) at that. So I suppose all bets are off.

      Why? Walky has done nothing wrong so far. Dating someone with an Ex is not a wrong doing and out of Danny or Joe, Walky knows Joe from classes so it would be more proper to speak to him about shoes.

      Brown is difficult to define, but for me (from an MS Paint colour analysis perspective), it has a hue between red and yellow (not inclusive). MS Paint says that the wall at the back is yellow. However, because I can do more than just analyse colours in MS Paint, here is a colour-corrected version that is all brown for you:
